    :) Well I agree with you about how they fought for our freedom cajary.!! I had many relatives who fought in both wars..!!
    :( But in todays age with all the terrists, political & religous... I think it will be necessary. :mad: Of course those with the power will abuse... They always do...!:mad: Isn't it always the innocent who suffer anyway in the long run..?? I think I would just like to know that whoever it is living next door, so to speak, is who they say they are..!!!!! I look at my grand children & wonder what world they will be living in when they are my age..!!!!:(

    I believe that all the hype is just that....Hype
    You take out a insurance policy with one company and you get a bunch of sh*te letters through the post, its the same with loans ....No info is safe. Lets face it even the government can't keep hold of records without losing them. Our info is all over the place already.

        Well I think it is because we now get shown “similar posts” at the bottom of the page.. Part of the Xenforno update we have had to have done perhaps @pete :)
